Chapter 617 Recreating the Azure Dragon Sword
Four towering black iron mines, as tall as mountains, were refined and coalesced into a mass of molten iron. The molten iron surged, constantly spewing true fire in all directions, extracting impurities from it.

When the massive molten iron shrank to the size of a head, the rotating bronze cauldron suddenly opened.

The molten black iron was drawn into it, and Jiang Wen activated his magic to temper it with even more intense true fire.

Although the swords of the Four Symbols Sword Formation also contained Xuan Iron Stone, they were still made of steel. Therefore, compared to Xuan Iron Stone, the four swords were of inferior quality.

Although he later obtained four killing sword intents from the Chunyang Cave, they did not bring about a complete transformation in terms of the array sword.

It is evident that the array sword was destroyed during the battle with the giant spirit god.

This time, he has obtained a great opportunity, with more than ten black iron mines waiting for Jiang Wen. He is determined to use these black iron ores to refine four Dao-level magic weapons.

"If these four Dao-suppressing array swords were to form the Four Symbols Sword Array, how powerful would they be?" Jiang Wen suppressed his excitement and controlled the Samadhi True Fire to quench the molten Xuan Iron Stone.

The art of treasure refining emphasizes the unity of the three powers: Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Like a blacksmith forging a weapon, there aren't so many obscure and complicated things. Using rare and precious materials as an aid, they are refined and forged into magical artifacts, then infused with spiritual energy and tempered, and finally, a magical artifact can be obtained.

Finally, by nurturing it with the help of a cultivator, it gains sentience and can then be given the name of a magical treasure.

Jiang Wen's Samadhi True Fire is no ordinary fire used for quenching treasures; it refines black iron ore extremely quickly. If it were ordinary true fire, these four mines alone would have been enough to refine it for decades.

After all, Xuan Tie Stone is no ordinary iron; it is considered a top-grade material for forging flying swords and magical treasures. No one in the Baixi tribe could forge it, so it was a perfect opportunity for Jiang Wen.

The black iron ore is quenched with the Samadhi True Fire, and after being burned into pure molten iron, it is refined in a bronze cauldron.

"I'm wasting these black iron stones like this. Even Yan Gongli would scold me for being wasteful." Jiang Wen looked at the black iron stone slag scattered on the ground and couldn't help but think of Yan Gongli. These slags alone could be used to forge excellent flying swords. How could he waste them like this?

The molten iron from the black iron stone gathered in the bronze cauldron, becoming increasingly pure under the tempering of the Samadhi True Fire. Impurities were continuously discharged, further reducing the head-sized molten iron to a smaller and smaller form.

"If it's refined to its fullest potential, it should be called Xuan Iron Refined Stone, right?" Jiang Wen gave the lump of molten Xuan Iron in the cauldron a new name on his own.

Another day passed without anyone noticing, and no residue remained in the cauldron.

The fist-sized mass of molten iron coalesced into a sphere, which floated inside the bronze cauldron.

Jiang Wen probed it and heard the molten iron humming. It seemed to have a life of its own, wriggling within the real fire.

"The time is right." Jiang Wen took a deep breath and took out a jade bottle containing spiritual spring water from his storage bag. He opened the lid of the bronze cauldron and poured the bottle of spiritual spring water into it.

Bah——!
Five-colored clouds rose from the cauldron, spreading a rich spiritual energy.

Even a single breath of mist is enough to fill the Qi Sea of ​​a cultivator with the life fire.

Within the formation, the barren earth began to sprout life, with countless weeds pushing their way out of the ground. Sprouting, flowering, and bearing fruit, it was as if the four seasons had converged into a single moment, unfolding in this instant.

Jiang Wen ignored the scene, focusing entirely on the cauldron and carefully manipulating the true fire to continue refining the molten iron. He also found it difficult to accept the extravagance of pouring a bottle of spiritual spring water into the molten iron.

Although we collected quite a lot of spiritual spring water back then, we've used up a lot of it over the years. We only have about ten jade bottles left, so we'll have to be more careful with them in the future.

However, while extravagance is wasteful, the results are also gratifying.

After the molten iron from the black iron stone flowed into the spiritual vein spring, its form changed instantly. The originally blazing white molten iron gradually turned milky white, then settled into white, and slowly became transparent.

"Such a transformation, it must have become a rare and precious object of heaven and earth." Jiang Wen was overjoyed; he had never expected such a stroke of luck.

Natural treasures are rare and hard to come by. To use them to craft magical artifacts is truly a luxury.

The transparent molten iron rotates and eventually forms a shiny water sphere.

This return to simplicity indicates that the Xuan Tie Stone has reached its limit in terms of refining. Jiang Wen calmed himself down and slowly took the molten iron out of the cauldron.

With a wave of his hand, the round ball, as clear as water, floated in front of him.

“A masterpiece like this is enough to create a divine artifact.” Jiang Wen sighed as he looked at the molten iron.

He opened his hands, gathering molten iron between them. Stretching it outwards, the iron gradually coalesced into shape. As Jiang Wen contemplated the form of the magical artifact, the molten iron slowly transformed into that shape. After half the time had passed, a transparent Han sword appeared before him. Though the sword was not physically visible, it was nonetheless captivating.

Having finalized the shape of the magical artifact, Jiang Wen pointed at the sword and called out "Stabilize".

Then he took out a jade bottle from the storage bag and carefully opened it.

Blood and qi surged, and the faint roar of a dragon could be heard.

He poured a drop of true dragon blood onto the magical artifact, and the originally transparent Han sword quickly transformed.

The cyan sword was speckled with gold, and a real dragon floated above it.

The sword is three feet long and adorned with stars. So flawless, it truly deserves to be called a celestial sword.

Jiang Wen looked at the longsword and was very satisfied. This Azure Dragon Sword was far superior to the previous one.

Forged from Xuan Tie refined stone, it is indestructible even to a saint. Tempered by Samadhi True Fire, this Xuan Tie refined stone acquires profound and wondrous powers.

As for what it is, we'll have to wait until Jiang Wen finishes refining it before we know.

The artifact is complete, but the spirit is still needed to be established.

Jiang Wen immediately took out the damaged Azure Dragon Sword and extracted a wisp of killing intent from it.

Pointing towards the forged Azure Dragon Sword, a wisp of golden sword intent merged into it.

The Azure Dragon Sword trembled instantly, and a dragon's roar pierced through the formation, spreading in all directions.

Countless rock miners turned their heads, looking around in astonishment. The dragon's roar pierced the heavens and earth, reaching the depths of everyone's hearts.

"What was that?" The Rockman hero in charge of the supervision was taken aback, leaping onto the hundred-foot-high mountain peak and looking around. But the vast mountain range remained completely still, as if the dragon's roar from before had been an illusion.

Inside the Divine Capital's Azure Sky Tower, several elders opened their eyes, looking around with puzzled expressions. They called out to others, equally baffled by the dragon's roar.

The gods were thus stirred up, undercurrents surged, and countless troubles arose.

Jiang Wen was unaware of these matters, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared. He was focused on refining the Azure Dragon Sword, preparing to complete the final step.

He reached up to his forehead and took out a drop of his blood essence.

Carefully merging into the Azure Dragon Sword, I immediately felt the connection between myself and the sword.

The Azure Dragon Sword seemed like a newborn child, crying out for food in his heart.

"Alright, alright, I'll grant your wish." Jiang Wen said indulgently, taking out several high-grade spirit stones. He placed the Azure Dragon Sword against the spirit stones, absorbing the spiritual energy within into the sword.

The Azure Dragon Sword was satisfied only after all the spirit stones were used up.

It flew into Jiang Wen's palm, and the unstoppable sword light dissipated.

In front of its "father," even a powerful magical artifact becomes incredibly obedient.

Jiang Wen held the Azure Dragon Sword and examined it closely, becoming more and more satisfied with it.

"What a treasure! What a treasure! If I could forge the other three swords, I wouldn't be afraid of even the Giant Spirit God."

After storing the Azure Dragon Sword inside his body, Jiang Wen decided to accumulate merit before refining the Azure Dragon Sword again after he left.

With a wave of his hand, he collected the scattered fragments of black iron stone within the great formation. Then, the formation slowly dissipated, revealing the azure sky outside.

"I don't know how much time has passed, I should go back and check on things."

Stretching, Jiang Wen transformed into a stream of light and flew towards the capital.
